Working in Llantwit Major

We work right across Llantwit Major — CF61 — and in neighbouring Bridgend and Barry.

Llantwit Major gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are planning ahead in Llantwit Major for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. We measure walk-in showers in Llantwit Major so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

Water across much of South Glamorgan is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Llantwit Major. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor

Decisions to make first

Glass thickness

8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.

Niche

A recessed shelf in the back wall keeps bottles off the tray. It has to be planned at first fix and tanked like the rest of the wall.

Rules that apply in Wales

In Wales, the Welsh Part P covers a wider list of electrical work than England, so changes to the lighting or a new electric shower circuit should be notified and certified.

Is the water hard in Llantwit Major?

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
